There is an unstable ratio of protons and neutrons. Because protons are positively charged but neutrons have no charge, an increase in the number of protons means there needs to be an increase in the number of neutrons to "bind" the nucleus together. This is because like charges repel, so the protons will repel each other, and if there aren't enough neutrons to act as "glue" to hold the nucleus together, the nucleus will break apart.
Answer:
The value of for this reaction at 1200 K is 4.066.
Explanation:
Partial pressure of water vapor at equilibrium =
Partial pressure of hydrogen gas at equilibrium =
Total pressure of the system at equilibrium P = 36.3 Torr
Applying Dalton's law of partial pressure to determine the partial pressure of hydrogen gas at equilibrium:
The expression of is given by:
The value of for this reaction at 1200 K is 4.066.
Answer:
Complete ionic: .
Net ionic: .
Explanation:
Start by identifying species that exist as ions. In general, such species include:
- Soluble salts.
- Strong acids and strong bases.
All four species in this particular question are salts. However, only three of them are generally soluble in water: , , and . These three salts will exist as ions:
- Each formula unit will exist as one ion and one ion.
- Each formula unit will exist as one ion and two ions (note the subscript in the formula .)
- Each formula unit will exist as one and two ions.
On the other hand, is generally insoluble in water. This salt will not form ions.
Rewrite the original chemical equation to get the corresponding ionic equation. In this question, rewrite , , and (three soluble salts) as the corresponding ions.
Pay attention to the coefficient of each species. For example, indeed each formula unit will exist as only one ion and one ion. However, because the coefficient of in the original equation is two, alone should correspond to two ions and two ions.
Do not rewrite the salt because it is insoluble.
.
Eliminate ions that are present on both sides of this ionic equation. In this question, such ions include one unit of and two units of . Doing so will give:
.
Simplify the coefficients:
.
